Everton defender Seamus Coleman thinks it is Arsenal who are under pressure this weekend

IT'S ALL ON THE GUNNERS: Seamus Coleman believes Arsenal are the ones under pressure this weekend [GETTY]

And the Everton full-back believes his side will benefit from the fact the Gunners are the ones expected to secure the last Champions League spot as they prepare for their six-pointer tomorrow.

Victory for Roberto Martinez's side at Goodison Park will move them to just one point off fourth-placed Arsenal - but crucially they will still have a game in hand.

Just two weeks ago, Everton's hopes of a Champions League place looked over as they trailed the Gunners by eight points.

But five wins on the trot for galloping Everton and no win in three for stuttering Arsenal has opened the door to allow the Toffees to sneak in.

Coleman, 25, said: "It's a massive game.

"I thought a couple of weeks ago it was out of our touching distance. For a while it felt like that.

"But we've had a good few wins on the bounce and the lads have been playing well. It sets us up nicely for this game.

"I think all the pressure is on Arsenal really because they are expected to finish in the top four and were challenging for the league.

"But we have got pressure in the changing room among ourselves that we want to perform well, but going into the game the pressure is on Arsenal.

"I am sure the top teams won't like coming to Goodison as well.

"The way we have been playing there for over a year now means we are confident."

If Everton make the Champions League they will be rewarded with at least an extra £40m in revenue that will help Martinez further strengthen his squad.

And Coleman is excited about playing under the Spaniard in the continent's premier competition.

He added: "If we got there I am sure the manager would get more money to spend and I think automatically you attract different players that you might not get if you don't have Champions League football.

"I think if the manager got Champions League football and the money and the players in, then next season is another season we could really look forward to.

"With the way the manager plays I think we could adapt quite well to European football."

Coleman's displays this season have brought interest from former manager David Moyes at Manchester United and tomorrow's opponents Arsenal.

However, he insists he is happy at Goodison Park and puts his improvement, which has brought seven goals from his right-back position, down to the positivity of new boss Martinez.

The former Sligo Rovers defender added: "He is a very, very positive character and I think we all feed off that.

"As players you like to be confident and then when you go out on a Saturday he encourages you to do things.

"If it doesn't come off it is not like he is going to give you a blasting on the sideline he will encourage you to do it again.

"But saying that if you are not performing or doing well he doesn't say 'well done' every day. If you have done a mistake he will let you know about it.

"Obviously the previous manager as well was brilliant with me, he helped me massively.

"Roberto has massively helped me, some of the positions I pick up when I don't have the ball and stuff like that, I'm learning as much as everyone else off him as well."
